This year Father’s Day falls on Sunday June 20 and if you happen to be spending Father’s Day in Puerto Rico, here are a few ideas to give your dad a great time on this special day.
Adventurous Dad
For those dads that like a bit of an adrenalin rush, why not treat them to an adventure at one of the many zip line tours here in Puerto Rico. There are tour operators based all over the island with most of them providing transportation options from the San Juan Metro Area. For something extra special consider the ‘Monster’ zipline at Toroverde or their new Bicycle, that’s right Bicycle Zipline
If zip lining sounds too extreme, then why not take your dad on a hike through the trails of El Yunque Rainforest. There are trails for all levels of fitness, so there is no excuse for not exploring the great outdoors. Online reservations for some areas are required
If being on or under the water is more your dads thing, then check out a kayak & snorkeling tour or even a half day scuba diving. Again there are tour operators around the island that offer half-day and full-day tours.
Don’t forget an unforgettable biobay trip, if the moon phase is good
Relaxing Dad
For those dads that prefer to leave the adventures to others, why not head to the beach for the day. For those in the San Juan Area, you could check out Isla Verde Beach, Carolina Beach or Escambron Beach.
If you have a rental car consider heading east to Luquillo Beach or Seven Seas Beach near Fajardo. If you are one the west coast why not check out Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla, one of the popular surfers beaches in Rincon or Playula Beach near Cabo Rojo
If you have the time head over to Culebra or Vieques islands for some stunning beaches.
Foodie Dad
If your dad likes his food, treat him to a special dinner. The following spots are offering a special Father’s Day Menus:
- Cana @ The Fairmount El San Juan Hotel, San Juan – 12pm to 5pm
- Ola Ocean Front Bistro @ Condado Vanderbilt – 12pm to 5pm
- 1919 Restaurant @ Condado Vanderbilt – 12pm to 5pm
- Royal Sonesta San Juan, San Juan – Noon to 3pm
- The Loft @ La Concha Resort, San Juan – Seatings at 10am, 12pm & 2pm
- Gingambo @ San Juan Marriott, Condado – 1pm to 4pm
- Iguanas at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar, Rio Grande – 6pm to 10pm
- Las Palmas Cafe @ Copamarina, Guanica
If you are looking for something more local and low key, head out to Pinones and try the food kiosks.
If your dad is a pork lover, then definitely head over to Guavate, where you will find great Lechon, local Puerto Rican foods, music and lively atmosphere. Just make sure you get there early, as Guavate is one place that will be extremely busy on Fathers day.
Cultural Dad
For those dads that prefer a little culture, check out one of the many museums around the island, or head into Old San Juan to check out the forts and maybe catch some local musicians playing on Paseo de la Princesa.
Craft Beer Dad
If your dad loves craft beer then take hime to one of the local Puerto Rican Brewery Tap Rooms around the island. Check out Ocean Lab Brewing, Old Harbor Brewery, FOK Brewing Co. and Dragon Stone Abbey Tap Room – BrewTaller! Experimental. You should also check out Puerto Rico Beer Guide for all the latest on the Craft Beer Scene in Puerto Rico
Whatever you do this Fathers Day, have a great time doing it.
